Bruce, I think E100 will be VERY difficult to start, particularly in cold climate. I've been running E85 in my EVO for the past year and a half. Even though Tucson is relatively warm - 40*F low so far - I still have to inject a bunch of extra fuel to get it to fire off. It is my understanding that ethanol is very hard to ignite; that is the primary reason for the 15% gasoline in E85. E85 will require 30% more fuel by volume (E100 about 40% more). So, for E85 installing injectors that are 30% larger (with a fuel pump that will support the same pressure and the increased flow) should allow the engine to run pretty well on the gasoline tune. Then fine tune to 12:1 AFR (gasoline), or 12.5:1 if you are brave. Jim in Tucson In a message dated 2/1/2010 3:32:03 P.M. US Mountain Standard Time, [email protected] writes:
I have 2 questions. 1: What is needed to run E100 ethanol? 2: Does anyone make an aluminum block? Thank you, Bruce _______________________________________________ Miatapower mailing list [email protected] http://list.miatapower.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/miatapower
